Cell notes

Inventory, Authorization / Discovered

What this cell records. The runtime-effective permissions, regardless of declared scope.

Sources

  • - kubectl auth can-i --list --as=system:serviceaccount:agent-X:claude-code for every agent SA.
  • - aws accessanalyzer list-findings for unused permissions per principal.
  • - kubectl get policyreports -A for which Kyverno policies are actually applying to which agents.

Cross-layer

Discovered effective permissions > operator-declared scope = scope creep. Audit and either tighten or amend the charter.
